January 26, 2012 For Mr. Melvin Knazze, Appearances Chairperson

Dear Mr. Knazze:

I am a member of the Diversity Council at Exelon Corporation. We are currently developing the program for our annual Black History Month celebration. This year, the council is focusing on the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen in light of the "Redtails" feature film currently playing in movie theatres.

Is it possible for a Tuskegee Airmen to visit our site and share his experiences? The event is scheduled for Wednesday, February 29, 2012 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The airman would speak for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and answer questions from the audience. Please contact me via my e-mail address and let me know whether or not this request can be fulfilled. I will gladly provide more detailed information when we are in contact and answer any questions you might have.

Thank you so much for your consideration and keep up the great work keeping the Tuskegee Airmen's legacy alive.

Today, I had the chance to meet the airmen while viewing a screening of the movie Red Tails. Thank you for answering my questions and thank you for allowing me to take photos. I am still amazed at the things that you had to endure just to serve our country. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do!
